Source-linked AI cost planning
Model the full cost of an AI agent.
Estimate monthly spend, cost per request and cost per successful task—from token usage and caching to retries, tools, RAG and observability.

Cost breakdown (monthly)
Try caching stable context to reduce repeated input cost.
⌁ How the estimate works
Monthly cost combines model tokens, tools, RAG, observability, human review and retry behavior from your editable assumptions.
monthly = model + tools + RAG + observability + human review + retries▣ Sources & assumptions
Rate records are source-linked and versioned. Always check the provider page before final budgeting.
? FAQ
Why can an invoice differ? Contracts, taxes, regional pricing, tool metering and usage behavior can change the final bill.
Tools for real workloads
Start with the cost question you actually have.
Use a focused calculator for the workflow, then move into a documented estimate when your planning needs more context.
OpenAI API Pricing Calculator
Turn list prices into a workload estimate with editable inputs, outputs, cache and retries.
Explore calculator →RAG Cost Calculator
Include embeddings, retrieval, vector storage and generation in one transparent estimate.
Explore calculator →Observability Cost Calculator
Model tracing, logs, evaluations and retention before observability becomes a surprise bill.
Explore calculator →AI Token Cost Calculator
Estimate input, output and cached token cost before planning a prompt or context strategy.
Explore calculator →Invoice Reconciliation
Compare assumptions with usage exports and find the gap between estimate and actual spend.
Explore calculator →Model Pricing Comparison
Review dated price records, sources and context notes—not a stale scraped table.
Explore calculator →Why teams use it
Token price is only the beginning.
▦ Plan per outcome
Translate model usage into cost per successful task, not only a monthly token total.
⌘ Include agent behavior
Retries, multi-step execution, retrieval and tools can shift the economics more than a model switch.
◌ Keep assumptions visible
Every estimate has an editable input, dated rate record or clear boundary. No hidden multipliers.
